Waiting to come back from Xu Jingzong.
Lu Qing sent someone directly to Prince Qin's Mansion to deliver the news.
When he heard that Lu Qing had done what he had told him to do, Li Chengqian understood that the overall situation was decided.
Now his job is to wait.
Waiting for Xu Jingzong to write his own history into a book.
Thinking about it, the corners of Li Chengqian's lips slowly raised: "Xu Jingzong, if I can't kill you, I will take your last name..."
It was just when Li Chengqian was in trouble.
Little Chuzi suddenly ran in from the door.
"Your Highness, the Su Mansion has sent a letter, saying that it wants to invite you to be a guest in the Su Mansion."
"ah?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian almost fell off the couch.
Fortunately, Xiao Chuzi had quick hands and eyes to hold him up, otherwise he would have been thrown to the ground and chewed up.
Li Chengqian looked at Xiao Chuzi with a puzzled face and said, "You said it was the Su Mansion that invited me to be a guest. Which Su Mansion?"
"Of course it's the Su Mansion that His Majesty likes."
Little Chuzi looked at Li Chengqian with a wicked smile and said: "It seems that Miss Su is very satisfied with His Highness, otherwise she would not invite His Highness over..."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Li Chengqian waved his hand randomly.
He couldn't figure it out now. He had already behaved so badly in front of Su Qingling, so why would Su Dan invite him as a guest?
Logically speaking, Su Qingling is Su Dan's eldest daughter and only daughter. Su Dan must be a treasure.
If you piss her off, you are breaking this marriage.
But why would he invite himself to his home?
Is it possible that Su Qingling likes that one?
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian began to doubt his life.
But they have already come to invite him, so he can't refuse, right?
Therefore, he could only accept the invitation and go to Su Mansion alone as a guest.
…
Su Mansion.
When Li Chengqian came, it was already very lively here.
He didn't hear until halfway that the Su Mansion was holding a poetry meeting in the mansion today.
In addition to Li Chengqian, they also invited talented scholars from around Chang'an City to attend.
And this poetry meeting is different from the usual poetry meetings where people talk and build relationships.
After writing the poem according to the title this time, it was up to Su Dan himself to decide who would win or lose among all the poems.
If you win, you will get the prize provided by Su Dan.
Of course, Li Chengqian had no interest in this prize at all.
He came today just to go through the motions.
When he arrived at the door of Su Mansion, Su Dan had been waiting there for a long time.
Seeing Li Chengqian get out of the car, he also walked straight forward to greet him, bent down and saluted: "Your Majesty Su Dan, I respectfully welcome His Highness the King of Qin."
"Uncle Su, there is no need to be polite."
Li Chengqian cupped his hands towards Su Dan, then laughed dryly and said: "I thought Uncle Su never wanted to see me in this life."
"how could be."
Su Dan chuckled lightly and said, "It is an honor for me, Mr. Su, for Your Highness to accept your invitation to attend the poetry meeting."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In this case, Uncle Lao Su will lead the way."
At this time, the hall in the backyard of the Su Mansion, which was specially used for banquets, was already filled with scholars from all over the world.
Even this poetry meeting, many women were invited to participate.
According to the rules, men and women sit on both sides, with a gauze curtain blocking the middle.
These people gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and building relationships.
"This poetry meeting is really big. Who can win this time?"
"Who can say clearly? After all, it is up to Mr. Su to make the decision, but in my opinion, the third son of the Zheng family is likely to win."
"That's right, the third son of the Zheng family is a brilliant man, and he is very knowledgeable. Maybe he can win the favor of Mr. Su this time."
Hear the chatter behind him.
The third son of the Zheng family, Zheng Chugao, was sitting at the forefront of the crowd. The corners of his mouth were raised high, and his face was full of pride, as if he had a chance to win.
And the scholar beside him couldn't help but compliment: "It seems that the scholars who came today are more optimistic about you, Mr. Zheng."
"They are the ones who flatter me."
Zheng Chugao pretended to be humble and said: "Others don't know what my level is, but I still know it very well."
"It's already very difficult to get into Master Su's eyes. How can we expect to win the title of leader?"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "But why hasn't this poetry meeting started yet? Where are everyone in Master Su?"
The noble man next to him straightened his back, looked around and said, "I heard just now that Mr. Su is going to pick up a distinguished guest. I don't know if the distinguished guest has arrived."
"Dignified guest?"
"What kind of distinguished guest is it that Mr. Su can personally welcome..."
Zheng Chugao slowly raised his head and looked at the woman behind the veil with deep eyes.
Let’s talk about Li Chengqian.
He entered the poetry meeting together with Su Dan.
But before he could sit down, he spotted Su Qingling's figure opposite where the woman was sitting.
Similarly, Su Qingling also saw this deceitful disciple.
Seeing the disciple looking towards her, Su Qingling turned away.
{Received contempt value +99 from Su Qingling...}
I gather...
Do you think so little of yourself?
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows when he heard the system prompts.
But he didn't mind either, he didn't want to marry Su Qingling anyway.
Because he had told Su Dan in advance not to let him introduce his identity so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
So after coming in, he simply ran to the most inconspicuous corner and sat down.
Today he has made up his mind to become a salted fish.
But some people didn't want him to live in peace.
Before he sat down for a while, he heard someone say in a nonchalant way: "Isn't this the guy Mr. Su went out to greet?"
"It looks like it must be the case, but what kind of identity does this guy have that allows Mr. Su to go out to greet him in person?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen him before. He might be a kid from that wealthy family, but this guy is really rude. He looked at the ladies when he came in."
In poetry gatherings, even if men and women sit together, there are still many rules.
Not only must a curtain be placed in the middle, but male guests must not look toward the female guests for too long.
Otherwise, they will be defined as a deceiver. If it is more serious, they may have to be kicked out by the master's family.
Since ancient times, literati have wanted to lose face. If someone scolded someone on such an occasion, it would be really humiliating.
But Li Chengqian didn't care about this at all, and sat in his seat as if he hadn't heard anything.
He even grabbed an orange on the table in front of him and ate it.
But the more casual he is, the more he appears to have low character.
The man sitting next to him looked at him with disdain and said coldly: "I don't know which family you are from, but you are so unruly."
Seeing this, Li Chengqian's head was full of confusion: "Aren't the oranges here for eating?"
"It's just food."
"But I don't eat like you. It's like I've never seen oranges before."
The prince raised his head and said, "Besides, this is a poetry meeting. Everyone is here to compose poems, not to eat."
"Isn't it just writing poetry? What's so difficult about it?"
Li Chengqian casually threw an orange segment into his mouth and said, "Besides, you may have already prepared poems for this poetry meeting..."
